Great kit to get started with indigo dye

Comments about Jacquard Indigo Dye Kit:

I used this kit to dye t-shirts and scarves. I loved the richness of the indigo dye,and the effects I got from folding, binding, and using rubber bands on the cloth. The results exceeded my expectations.
The cons were the strong smell of the dye and the learning curve I had to go through when using indigo dye for the first time :) The instructions included in the kit are good and I recommend reading them very thoroughly before jumping in.
I plan on buying another kit.

Not for children

Comments about Jacquard Indigo Dye Kit:

This may be fine for young adults, done over a period of days, but definitely not as a tie dye project for children. The dye vat is strong smelling (must be covered), and the process is slow -- you can't agitate the dye, so can only do one or two at a time it seems.

The final product is beautiful, but only because the instructor did ALL of them herself, over a period of days, at home. So this is probably best left for home projects -- in which case it would get an enthusiastic recommendation from me!

The bottom line recommendation is for a fellow artist, and not for another teacher.
